There is a new concept in town – an optical illusion watch concept, and it comes directly from Tokyoflash design studios. As they claim: this design is perfect for those who are into challenges. Time it displays is a hidden optical illusion stereogram of some sort.
Getting used to it requires training your eyes first. Only then you will be able to see the hidden numbers embedded in some kind of a greenish maze. On the other hand, if you have trouble seeing the time on the standard display, just touch the main button, and it outlines the individual digits.
In my knowledge this is only a concept, and hasn’t entered the manufacturing process yet. Perhaps it could be an interesting toy, at least before you get bored by it. So what do you think? Would you buy this watch if it was available for purchase? Me? I’m not really sure I would… always had trouble seeing stereograms.

omg wow that is so cool… and i could see the numbers, i would buy it
Samage1
when i look at the middle rectangle the rest starts shimmering then turns into dots!
All the lines going like this: / are part of the numbers. All the lines going like this: \ are outlining it. If you can train your eyes to push out the the / lines, then it’s easy to see.
It’s freakin me out
But wen you saw it, it wold be easier to see it again
I can’t see it..WHY?!! DAMN IT ALL!!!!!!
i seen it right away n the green makes it look so cool, i want one!!!
I’m not sure that it’s a stereogram… I didn’t have to cross my eyes, nor get near and then recede from the screen. I just saw the numbers by looking at the image and spending some seconds to recognize them properly.
If I was one who usually wears watches (and I’m not) I’d definitely wear this one. I also love acid green vs. black.
any1 no if u can get tis i want it so badly T^T
0 5
3 6
So cool. Took me about 15 seconds to see all 4 numbers. :D
this isnt a stereogram. its just obfuscated letters. theres no 3d here.
5:36 or 5:35
Look at the whole panel from the side. You can see the 0 in the top left, the 5 in the top right, the 3 in the bottom left and the 6 in the bottom right.
woah that’s sooo weird!!!!!!
lol I was staring soo intently at the green and black squiggles… then noticed in the bottom right corner it says “05:36″ and I felt stupid for not seeing it sooner. Duh! quit looking at the squiggly lines and notice that the time is listed right there!
If you look closly enough, you would notice the lines that make up the numbers are going in opposite directions. When you find that out, it wouldn’t be as hard to read the time (srry if this is confusing, but i have never been good at explaining stuff)
i’d buy one as a gift
and disable the display button
i would enjoy this watch so much definitely a sweet investment
i was lookin at it for ages and i can still se little fuzzy green this and i feel so dissy :#
my brother wud like this tho :P
Hey men! I got this watch,It is so damn cool!
